FUSSY'S RAID ON IUKA.

Written for the Ledger by Pussy Claudus,
of the 9th Mo. Unfit, C. S A.
We started from Gun Town in search
of the Feds,
Determined to find them If it cost US our
heads;
And if we should find them by day or by
night,
We never would leave without having a
a fight.
CHORUS
Roll away, roll waters so blue,
Like a feather I'll loaf
In my Gum Tree canoe.
We started from Gun Town on Thursday,
the 10th,
And straight from there to Marietta We
went:
But knowing we had but q short time to
stay,
We kept the train moving toward Iuka.
CHORUS
On Tombigbee river wnere riches abound,
And the poorest of all Gods creation Is
found,
There are numerous faculties worked on
the sly,
And there is tricks to catch travellers as
they're passing by.
CHORUS.
The town of Bay Springs is a very gay
place;
The buildings are ancient and some hat
defaced;
The bridge over the river, although broke
down,
I'm sure adds greatly to the looks of the
Twas dark when We got there,
We left before day;
We were anxious to capture
The town l. U. X.
The drivers were all ready
Aud the mules were all saddled,
When the good news came in
That the Yanks had skedadled.
The boys marched in and thought it gre at
fun
To capture q town
Without firing a gun.
The Yanks in such great haste
Were forced to retreat
Ran off and left ill
Of their good things to eat.
CHORUS.
There was sugar and coffee, -four, salt
and corn,
There was lager and wine,
So we all took ahorn.
We laid by for three days
Our spirits RECALLING,
Then left In a hurry
To escape a good whaling.
MORAL.
In travelling through life
/ have made it a rule
To take good advice though 1t came from
q fool;
So I'm sure the next time l 90 to I. u. K.
The Tanks won't be there to run me away.

DUBLIN, TEX, Nov. 24,-Yesterday
evening about O'CLOCK G serious cutting
STRAY took place about ten miles from

be found out ere as follows: One Colonel
Bill Stone, IN ole resident of C2marche
county, had sold piece Of land to his
nephew, John NJ. Stone, and yesterday he
was removing some rails from the place
wnen Bill Stone, passing in his buggy,
objected 10 it. A dispute arose in regard
20 the payment of the taxes. At this
point Bill Stone struck at his nephew
with his whip and gave him the lie. This
J. NJ. Stone resented by drawing his
knife and staobing him in the left lung
and right jaw, and making q terrible
CASH in his abdomen, large enough for
his bowels to protrude. DR.. R. A. Miller
of this place WAS summoned TO attend
him, which he did promptly. He says it
is very doubtful if he RECEIVERS, as he is

Stone, who did the cutting, Is about

The evidence in this case made 1t rather
interesting to the courtsadience. A YER
dict has not yet been rendered.
Counsei for W. R Orman will argue s
motion for new trial to-day. One of
their grounds for demanding a new trial
is that the Dallas News published the
verdict OF the jury before they brought
their verdict into the court, and even be-
fore the jury had come to q conclusion.
The jury never come TO a verdict
until about IL O'Clock of the dsy
the fact was published in the
Dallas News. The correspondent here
will make aft iavit that he guessed at the
verdict.
Rev. John S, Allen died here last night
of malarial fever. He IS noted man
among the Baptist denomination Of the
state, and has for thirty years preached
that doctrine in Texas. OF latter yesrs
he has been pastor of the East

The unconscious ones were carried

named Ella Hill is not much better. The
others are in serious condition. The
physicians cannot tell whether death will

long was inflicted causing the bowels to
protrude considerably. They were
placed back by a physician. The attend-

MANS chances for recovery decidedly
against her. Deputy Andrews, upon ar
resting the esseilant, Isabel, and search

the two women over the husband of the
one stabbed. The pefpstrator was promyt-

Too Much Brain Work.

The suicide Of Lieut.. Danenhower at An
napolis the other day is believed by friends
here to have been first suggested to his dis.
eased mind by the death of his near friend,
Lieut.. Robert W. Galewood, who committed
suicide on the Norfolk boat week ago. This
makes the fourth case in the last two years
where young naval academy graduates have
killed themselves. The other cases were those
Of Cadet Schock, of Pennsylvania, who on
the eve Of graduation at the Royal college, in
Greenwich, England, shot himself, and Cadet
F. G. Ridder, who blew his brains out while
taking the prescribed two years. course in the
United States steamer Swatara In a few
more days Schock would have become an as
sistant naval constructor. Another instance
may be cited where an overworked brain
has been the immediate cause of death in that
of young Smoak, Of South Carolina. Smoak
was poor fellow who worked on farm
near Annapolis at $40 month to pay his
entrance fee. He entered in May, did well
on the practice cruise, but was found deficient
in studies at the following semi-annual ex-
aminations. He had until June to make up
the deficiency, but brain fever set in and
death was the result.-New York Sum-

The Hotel Type Writer Girl,

This type writing business in hotel rotundas
is not what it is cracked up to be by any
means, that is, if the operator is young and
good looking girl. l don't suppose that
homely old maids find it such bad occupa-
ton, though; but young ladies, that is il they
are pretty, are annoyed to DEATH She is
stared at, grinned at and talked to so much
that after she has been in the business few
weeks she comes to the conclusion that tile
life Of domestic in private family is much
more preferable than writing love letters for
bald heads and dudes. The worst crowd she
has to deal with are those dashing young
drummers, who are always ON the mash and
think that everybody else is. They will come
to you and open conversation on the pre-
tense of wanting to write letter to their
firm. Then they will sit down and dictate
a lot OF nonsense, which we are compelled to
write SO long as they pay us for our time
We have to treat them civilly, although we
know that they really do not require our
services, or they will make complaint. No,
the life of type writer girl is not as pleasant
as it might be, but ! suppose that there are
other occupations that are equally as disa-

and two days after leaving the port of Lis

Malabar at Calicut. or more properly Kale
Rhoda, City Of the Black Goddess Calicut
was at that period not only very ancient
seaport but an extensive territory, which,
stretching along the western coast of southern
India, reached from Bombay and the ad-
jacent islands to Cape Comorin. 1t was at an
early period so famous for its weaving and
dyeing of cotton cloth that its name became
identified with the manufactured fabric,
whence the name Calico It is now generally
admitted that this ingenious art originated in
India in very remote ages, and from that
country found its way into Egypt 1t was

curls the strips and the ends are tackled to-

ornaments are made in Philadelphia. Few
are sold. They cost too much and usually go
to amuse sick children who have not lusty
